Where Prohibition Does Not Prohibit

Before us is a copy of the Weldon
house, st. Adams, bill of fare for May
%. Under the wine list is enumerated
an assortment of liquors with prices
attached including champagne, wines,
brandy, ale and lager beer. We are
willing to admit that there are not half
a dozen hotels in the state where the
initiated may not get drink when
dry, but this is the first instance that
we recall where the hotel advertises
it's wine list. There is a prohibitOry
law in Vermont; st. Adams is in YER
mont but seems to be outside the
workings of the law. Could a more
miserable farce be imagined

American Prosperity.

The Anglo-American Times, dis
cussing the subject of American pros
perity, calls attention to the contrast
between the condition in 1870 and 1887
Then, all was paper; now, all is coin.
Then, all was initiation; now, all id
hard pan. Then, all was boom now,
all is business. A man who makes
money at present, earns it. A man
who apparently made money then,
neither made it nor earned it. The
Anglo American thinks the United
States has at last got on solid ground
and can move along with security
without being again begged.

What's the Difference


Should it be proved in Vermont
court that the jurymen on a panel had
each received barrel of -four from a
party to a suit, one can imagine with
what abhOrrent mien and whitening
legal phase the judge. with railway
pass buttoned up in his pocket, would
visit the penalty of the law and out
ragged justice upon the covering Occu-
pants on the jury box. And yet that
judge has set, and every yearis sitting,
with the money value of a small cargo
of -four in his possession, placed there
by parties to suits in which he as
sumes to sit as an impartial minister
of the law. Is there any difference in
the case of the jurymen and the bench
In degree, none in kind and the diff
ference is all on the side of the jury
box.

A Vermont Bear Story.
Word comes by way of North Adams
that Daniel O'COnnell of Stamford,
while looking for cattle Friday and
accompanied by his dog, heard a noise
in the bushes near by, and turning,
saw large bear coming toward him.
O'Connell was unarmed and running
for tree grasped lower limb when
the bear caught him by the foot and
pulled him down. The beast then
took fresh hold, decorating the calf
of O'Connell's leg badly. O'COnnell
broke away and got into the tree, but
bruin this time followed him. Both
went ont on a small limb which broke,
letting them both to the ground where
another struggle took place. The dog
then tackled the bear, which was thus
attracted from O'COnnell, and he was
enabled to escape and reach home.
OCOnnell's wounds are very serious,
but not necessarily fatal. The dog
has not reached home and is supposed
to have been killed in the unequal
fight.

from 2.55 to 3.27, not only speaks we'll
for the credit of the state, but is evil
dence of the plentitude of money, as is
evidenced by the fact that the bids re
ceived would have bought the loan
seven times over.

Christian Proceedings.

A London paper suggests blandly
that while a nation may have right
to refuse to receive paupers, cit is not
a Christian proceeding" Is it Chris
tian proceeding, we wonder, for a
great nation to ship its paupers three
thousand miles away and dump them
among strangers, simply to get rid of
the responsibility for their support.

Speaking of the battle flag episode
Editor Camp of the Newport Express
thinks the flags had better be burned
He says: "There are scars enough in
the hearts of the people if it is desira-
BILE to remember the war by it's sOr-
rows, without the aid of flags. But a
better way to remember it is by the
liberty given to an enslaved race and
by the progress the south has made
since the day of war. Burn the battle
flags"

The National Game.

Burlington Free Press
Baseball, as it is played nowadays,
is dangerous game. The swiftness
with which the hard ball in use is
thrown and batted endangers life and
limb. In Lincoln, Neb., the other day,
ball, glancing from the bat, struck
the batter in the mouth. He fell for
ward, and in 10 minutes was dead from
the shock to the nervous system. At
another place two players, running to
catch ball, came together with such
force that both were knocked sense
less.

Rutland Herald.
All the democrats and mugwumps
may understand now, as well as bye
and bye, that there must be fair vote
and an honest count all over this
country or honest men will ding the
wrong in their ears until it is righted,
President Cleveland holds his seat by
virtue of bloody fraud in the south. Ii
he is reelected it will be for the same
reason. The evil is continuous. The
republican party looks ahead and
moves ahead faster than any other,
but it cannot leave unguarded and in
complete the great work of the past.
Nothing is settled until it is settled
right. If the solid south and the
doughfaces of the north would have
the past buried they must cease to do
as they did in the past. 1t is all In
their own hands to have new issues,
but there is only one way. A free bal
lot lies at the foundation of every
thing. Until that is secure, nothing is
secure.

Sectional AnimOsity as Political Capital.
Neao York Herald.

Nel0 York Herald
Political partisans who hope to at
tain public Office by cursing everybody
who has the audacity to differ from
them may we'll be spared. The Amer
lean people are not led by the nose.
They vote with their brains, not their
passions. They hate trickery and pre-
fer fair play. The weakness of repub
lican leaders like Blaine, Sherman and
Gen. Fairchild is that they cannot af-
ford to admit that the war is over.
They have no political capital except
sectional luminosity, and they make
the most of it with skill and dexterity.
When there is nothing left on the ma
tional hearthstone except few dying
embers of the old feeling, they grow
red in the face in the attempt to fan
the blaze back.
